WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO?
We are a Lisbon-based office founded in 2005 by Filipe Vogt Rodrigues, Inês Maia Vicente, and Marta Mateus Frazão. Our enthusiastic, focused, and skilled team works on a diverse range of projects, including architecture, rehabilitation, urban design, interior design, and landscape architecture.
We believe that each project serves as the "engine" of its own research, fostering a critical, creative, and inventive approach. Our diagrammatic and elementary representation is both a result of our process and a tool for diagnosis, research, and communication of solutions.
Recently, we have concentrated mostly on the domestic field, from small houses to larger housing projects. These endeavors provide a broad scope for experimentation and research. Our focus is on developing unique projects and diverse solutions tailored to the site, context, landscape, program and budget.
We offer our clients the dedication of a small office combined with the experience of a seasoned team.
Atelier Data has been distinguished in numerous competitions, earning several national and international awards. Many of our projects have been widely published and exhibited. Additionally, our studio maintains a regular presence at conferences and seminars and serves on juries for architecture competitions.
